it is cold again. after a nice two weeks of spring, we've dropped back into freezing weather. my aunt and cousin have relocated to michigan, and are soon off to canada. it was nice having them here for passover; it's even nicer to only have to cross a lake to see them. i'm not going to miss the atlantic ocean. all of Katy's family was here for the seder, and all of mine was, and all of our friends were able to make it. it was a great night and i'm extremely grateful for every thing in my life. there have been days, weeks, years, that i thought God had completely abandoned me, or the people i care about. however, i know better now that these are times where faith in God is sometimes the only way to put any sanity into a situation and i'm incredibly lucky to have it all turn out for the best. Katy has really gotten into her faith again lately, she keeps finding things in the books i've given her to read and she points them out to me and she is so excited, i love it. she's just glowing and i'm so glad that she's reconnected with God. life has been so hectic since highschool, it's nice to know that it's easing up and instead of wasting her time on every thing that is easy, she is spending her time on things that will really matter in the long run. so for the imaginary people who don't want to read about faith, life is good. two of my friends who have been head over heals for eachother for countless years are soon to be engaged [it's safe to say this here, neither of them waste their time on the computer like i do]. i'm really excited for them, they've both been through a lot of struggles and i think they eliminate most of the problems, or at least the pain that comes with them, for each other. they really are a great pair. they are such a different couple - it's incredible to watch them interact now since they aren't hiding their feelings from eachother. i'm not one for the traditional idea of a family, but they are completely opposite of any family i've ever seen. i'm sure their kids will be adorable too. i'm done rambling here.

i'm getting married. :D proposed the day before valentines day. mainly because i couldn't wait and it would be cheesy to do it on valentines day and i knew she would get a kick out of it. so i am ecstatic right now and have been for the past three days. and for those qui ne parle pas francais, la bonheur means happiness - not what it sounds like. :D

i'm not quite sure what a journal's use is on a lyrics site. but my inner hippie tells me not to waste and to embrace what ever is given to me. so, it's cold here. really, really cold. but it's not so bad. you get use to it after a while. [it only took four harsh winters to get use to the cold here, heh.] it's good weather to run in. with the exception of the ice. but, after you've fallen on possibly every patch of black ice that the town could possibly have, you learn to avoid it. plus, there's always that factor of winter that could either make or break the season; the presence of a significant other. this winter, i'm lucky enough to have some one to cling to me when it gets this cold. which definitely makes the stinging wind feel less harsh. sadly though, at the moment, the said belle is busy working and i've been studying all night so i'm amusing myself by writing in this although no one really cares and no one will really read it. but all is well. my inner hippie is at peace now.
